她第一次写论文时，导师跟她解释说，如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明，不过导师主要是想知道她自己是怎么想的。
解析：这个长句的主干是 “主谓宾” 结构：her tutor explained that... 。句首的 The first time that... 是时
间状语。主句谓语动词 explained 后面是两个 that 引导的宾语从句 that she must acknowledge... 和 but
that he mainly wanted... 。在第一个宾语从句中，谓语动词 acknowledge 后跟一个宾语从句 what other
people had said 和一个状语从句 if she cited their ideas；在第二个宾语从句中，从句 what she thought
作动词不定式 to know 的宾语。
At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. (Reading and Thinking P14)
刚开始，谢蕾不知道该说什么。但使她惊奇的是，没过几周，她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。
解析:此句中包含三个从句，第一个从句是 what 引导的同位语从句 what she should say,说明 idea 的具
体内容，第二个从句 what surprised her 是主语从句，第三个从句 that she found herself... a few weeks
是表语从句。

解析(1):此处halfway through的意思是“在……中间；在……中途；到……的一半”，如：

解析(2).feel at home意思相当于feel relaxed and comfortable，即“感觉到舒服、自在”，例如：
While I’m learning about business, I’m also acting as a cultural messenger building a bridge between us. (Reading and Thinking P15)
我攻读商科的同时也是一个文化使者，在中外文化之间架起了一座桥梁。
解析:句中的while引导时间状语从句，表示“同时；另一方面；而且”，又如：
Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. (Reading and Thinking P20)
学费和生活开销比国内贵多了，多数家庭最终可能会花费一大笔钱。
解析:cost an arm and a leg是英语习语，意思是“（使）花一大笔钱”，即“非常昂贵”，多用于非正式文体。
Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. (Reading and Thinking P20)
在学习如何在新环境中举止得体时，有些人可能会感到吃力，并承受文化冲击的折磨。
